This will recompile the code in your database and alert you to coding errors. Note that it will not detect errors in dynamic sql, and neither will it detect errors due to a dependent object being deleted, because SQL Server will happily compile such code in the expectation that the object will be there when it is called.
Requires SQL Server version 2005 or better. Run it on a restored copy of your database rather than your production copy!

I would not recompile every proc in production database, but I see no problem with Blindman's approach in any offline environment like development, QA, UAT or training.

If one brings so much courage to this world the world has to kill them or break them, so of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry. Earnest Hemingway, A Farewell To Arms.
